Sadly true, P-90.
He cancelled scheduled shows because of his heart attack, now I missed the chance to see him. (Which reminds me, see artists and musicians while you can! You never know when...)

Artwork by my 11-yr old daughter, done with her eyes shut. she nailed it: he spews orange bile while giving us all the finger

@melinda: Yep! By the same people who originally did "Signs". Very electric piano heavy track.
I had to look up if it was the Five Man Electrical Band (it was), or Sugarloaf.

Oh, so that's where that bed music comes from!

My theory (or desperate hope?) is that Lila's generation will see all the trouble in the next 3-4 years and grow up galvanized to never, ever, allow anything like this to happen again.

Wait until he puts his picture on all the coins and currency and puts up posters of himself on all the buildings. And on Mt. Rushmore. Hoo boy.

If you go to the protests in NYC outside of the Trump Tower, the atmosphere is weird. The cops are calm and nice and you get the distinct feeling they don't want to be there protecting the guy. It's like a Simpsons episode come to life.

@Scott: I believe we may have been in the exact same psychic space last Wednesday and Thursday. It may as well have been a Freaky Wednesday/Thursday.

Wow, is that why L.C. was wearing those clothes?! Didn't know!
And yes, these are my favorite recordings of these songs, something especially sedate and mellow about them.

Come to think, I first started listening to L. Cohen in university, almost exactly ten years ago this month or so, ironically.

I also like how his enunciations are at their most "Canadian" in these Isle of Wight recordings. See: "Bird on a Wire" and "Suzanne".

Pooey flute!

Oh thank you thank you Scott! ♥♥♥
One of his very best. Very nice segue from the last track too.

@Marc15: Remember the Berlin Wall. Things build up, frustratedly for a long time with nothing changes. Then they all break at once. You never know what's going to happen (as if that wasn't obvious the past week).

Nice that Leonard wrote a love letter to USA but boy was he wrong. ''Spiritual thirst''? Blood lust is more like it.

@Marc15, it just came in one big bitter pill

Marianne died in July 2016. Cohen's farewell letter to Marianne was read at her funeral, stating that "... our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine."

I feel like I'm in sophomore year of college again…which thankfully is not actually the case.

I used to be your favorite drunk, good for one more laugh.
Then we both ran out of luck. And luck was all we had.
You put on a uniform to fight the Civil War.
I tried to join, but no one liked the side I'm fighting for.
So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet.
I'll be waiting on this corner where there used to be a street.
It wasn't all that easy when you up and walked away.
But I'll leave that little story for another rainy day.
I know your burden's heavy as you wheel it through the night.
The guru says it's empty. But that doesn't mean it's light.
So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet.
I'll be standing on this corner where there used to be a street.
You left me with the dishes and a baby in the bath.
And you're tight with the militias and you wear their camouflage.
Well, I guess that makes us equal. But I want to march with you,
just an extra in the sequel to the old red, white and blue.
So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet.
I'll be waiting on this corner, where there used to be a street.
It's going to be September now for many years to come
- many hearts adjusting to that strict September drum.
I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist,
salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed.
So let's drink to when it's over. And let's drink to when we meet.
I'll be waiting on this corner, where there used to be a street.

That was a great (and to me, educational) tribute, Scott. Thanks!
